How to create Prescription Maps

To create a Prescription Map, from a NDVI image, High-Res image, Rapid-EM™ or STACK Analysis either select the button on the Home screen or under the 'I want to' button when you are already in a Farm. Note, you will only be able to create an map from High-Res, Rapid-EM™ or STACK if you have previously used one of these tools on the field(s) you have selected.

Next, select the layer you wish to use to create the map from. If you are selecting NDVI, you can also select the Calculation you'd like to use. 

Select a date from the drop down.

Then select the number of zones and output scale for you map. 

You can also select to draw your own zones. 

Once you have selected the zones and output scale, the image will process and you will be able to view your prescription map. 

Once you've clicked, Next, you'll have the opportunity to add rates for each zone. You can also adjust the zones by clicking on the paint brush icon and then clicking on the map to change that area to the selected Zone. 

To add an additional zone, click on 'Add Zone' and then use the paintbrush to add area to the new zone. 

Next, select 'Add to Cart' and proceed through the checkout process to create your file. Pro Users will not need to checkout, as unlimited Prescription Maps are included with a Pro Subscription. 

Once the processing is complete, you'll get the option to view or export your map.
